Hey Buffetfan,

Did you see Jimmy Buffet hanging out with Bill Clinton and Dan Rather at Ed Bradley's funeral? I thought he was going to cry as he played some song for good old lefty Ed Bradley.

Right now, you are literally acting like a Parrothead. Squawking, enunciating words but not making sense. Let me see if I can construct your argument:

White guy walks down street late at night in Harlem;
White guy presumably gets attacked automatically, since he is white;
White guy stops having "white guilt"
White guy therefore doesn't mind when Kramer calls an audience member an "N" and then shouts it over and over and suggests the man should be lynched.

Good line of reasoning.

It's difficult to remain unconvinced.

Nice try Defiant. Maybe "Ice Cube" will come knocking at your door tonight. Better make sure it's locked.

"Do You Know what it Means to Miss New Orleans," first made famous by Louis Armstrong. He nailed it.

Jimmy does great covers in general. He respects the material and doesn't go out of his way to put his own stamp on it. Van Morrison covers usually gall me, but Buffet's "Brown-Eyed Girl" is fantastic. His cover of "Southern Cross" is better than the original. And, much like Willie Nelson (whose "Stardust" is one of my favorite songs), when he takes on an old jazz standard, he generally gets it right.

Right now, you are literally acting like a Parrothead. Squawking, enunciating words but not making sense.

Don't let Buffetfan ruin it for the rest of us. For years, I went to see Buffet, often more than one show, every time he came to town.
